Primrose was created to provide meaningful educational opportunities through play in a warm and naturalistic environment. We are comprised of one toddler classroom and Pre-k classroom, providing an intimate experience for families. Our students begin at 18 months and families have the option of choosing a schedule of 2-5 days per week.
Young children are active learners who benefit most from hands-on activities. Primrose teachers approach every activity with the intention of creating a meaningful learning experience that is individualized to meet each child’s needs. At Primrose Preschool we also believe in the importance of time outdoors as there are lessons learned in nature that cannot be taught within the classroom. Time spent outdoors enhances creative play, provides natural opportunities for the development of social and motor skills, and teaches children an appreciation for the world around them.
